And I went, and we went, and my brothers and I made this little thing. The ramp didn't really last, and I got, I fell off. Thank God I didn't break my neck, but it was fun. It was fun. I'm not Evel Knievel, I realize. Oh, you aren't. Thank you. Kennedy.

I remember at five years old, my dad dropping me off at kindergarten and my mom in the drive. And I used to be able to sit in the middle of those cars and have seatbelts. I was like that thing that came down that foot. So I sat in the middle there and we pulled up and literally almost rammed into the radio, into the face. And my dad was on a cell phone. A happy memory, my family.

The same woman who patted on me, my elementary school teacher, was my first campaign manager. Oh. And she got me 32 graduation speeches when no one would invite me to speak when I was running for Congress. There were 28 kindergarten speeches and five elementary school speeches.

I thought that was a complete waste of time, but it turned my career around, turned my campaign around, and got me to where I am. And I love her to this day for that reason.

The thing I the gripe I have with the producers in this show is that there are too many topics that promote Democrats. I wish there were not so many topics that promote Democrats. That's the hardest part. I love preparing. So it's like I love I love seeing the topics and thinking about what everybody around the table might say.

He lost the race. I think one of the reasons he's probably out these these days is because Biden, that is because the books are coming out and he wants to show that he was not that he was not out of it.

And I think a lot of people took him at his word, and that didn't happen. And if President Biden wants to continue to go on shows to help himself, I think one of the guys there at the end said this is all about Biden and not about anything else. Let him do that. That will run its course. Let us go forward with a set of ideas and what our priorities are, laying it out for the country.

So I think the country settled that for us. They elected Donald Trump again, and they said that close the door on that and move forward. Democrats, there's so much there for us to be doing. If we continue to fall in the trap of talking about Joe Biden, bless his heart, he gave 40-plus years to this country of service, and I'm grateful for it.
